We want to stop clock-changing. Member States should themselves decide whether their citizens live in summer or winter time. 🕒
President @JunckerEU State of the Union #SOTEU #EfficientEU #ClockChange
We are proposing to end seasonal #clockchange in Europe in 2019, giving Member States the freedom to decide once and for all whether they want to permanently apply summer or winter time.
#SOTEU #EfficientEU
We held a public consultation, building on the @Europarl_EN request and as part of our assessment.
84% of 4.6 million respondents were in favour of ending seasonal #clockchange, the most responses ever received.
Final results → europa.eu/!jy43KH #SOTEU #EUHaveYourSay

I'm gonna watch Trump's UN speech now and tweet about anything I see that is interesting!

Man look at this prime real estate the United Nations takes up.

Opening thought: raze the UN buildings to the ground to get their stench away. Then let Trump build some beautiful apartment buildings.
Really interesting moment. Trump lauds his accomplishments. The UN laughs at him.

Look at how he reacts. It's not anger as his enemies would guess. He laughs back at them.

"That's funny? I think cutting US funding to the UN will be even funnier."

1/? Here we go then, Jean-Claude Juncker's (probably) last ever State of the Union speech. Last year's caused quite a stir. Will J-C look to go out with a bang? Expecting big forays on migration, Rule of Law, foreign & defence policy, & probably a small mention of Brexit. #SOTEU
Juncker unsurprisingly starts out by talking up the current strengths of the EU economy. He points out there are a record 239 million people in work across Europe and youth unemployment stands at 14.8%. Adds: 'That figure is still too high but it's the lowest figure since 2000.'
Juncker says he's proud to have helped Greece stay in the eurozone despite the 'painful years' that caused, and adds: 'I pay homage to the Herculean efforts of the Greek people, an effort that others in Europe still haven't acknowledged sufficiently.'

1/ Some background on Juncker's #SOTEU speech - focussing on the immigration law aspects

Here's the list of proposals, etc due to be made in the speech
2/ There's a plan for soft law on legal migration and migration relations with Africa, but the binding legislation to be proposed concerns the EU asylum agency, the border control agency Frontex, and the law on control of irregular migrants (the Return Directive).
3/ Lazy hot take alert: please don't buy into (or write!) that "this is when the EU finally listened to populist objections to migration". There have been a string of EU measures agreed or proposed since autumn 2015 on migration control, esp asylum, Frontex, and use of databases.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
